I took an elbow to the bridge of my nose in a pickup basketball game. The impact pushed my nasal bones sideways, as well as aggravating an already deviated septum. I could only sleep on my right side. Snoring kept up the Mrs. I came to the doc 3 years after the injury once I had saved up for the procedure. Once he looked in there, it was determined that my turbinates were restricting my breathing as well, since I have a naturally more narrow nose. The whole thing was a mess. I had all this worked on in the same procedure. The results are a huge improvement. Surgery was a breeze. Recovery was annoying, but not a huge problem. One nostril still works better than the other, and cosmetically It's not exactly perfect, but it's close. To the outsider, It's a good looking nose, and I agree. The important thing is that I can sleep on any side and still be able to breath. No more snoring. I'm definitely glad I did it.
Thank you for sharing your experience. I bet your wife is happy that you don't snore anymore! You mention that your recovery was annoying, can you tell us specifically what what the most difficult part and how your managed through it.
I bet! The nose packing has to be the worst, I'll actually never forget that part.
